# Verify element is hidden

This is a pre-built action available under the **Captured Element** from the **Desktop Application**. The functionality of this action in Avo Assure is to verify if the object is hidden on the AUT, and save the result in dynamic variable.

**Example**

**Verifies whether the specified element is hidden on the screen**

The **Verify element is hidden** action does not require any input in the Input Value column. It checks if the captured UI element is not visible to the user on the screen. The result of the visibility check is stored in the **{Hidden}** variable as **True** ( if the element is hidden ) or **False** ( if the element is visible )
